They've already brought Family Guy (unfortunately) and Futurama (hooray) back from the grave.
Which prematurely cancelled cartoon should be next?
note: no childrens cartoons
another note: if someone specifies "The Oblongs" I will personally drive to your house and bunch you in the brain
 My vote goes to The Critic but Clerks wouldn't be too far behind. The Clerks cartoon was great because it didn't have that awful Kevin Smith stink all over it. -------------  Time always wins. |

I agree, Family Guy is puke, Futurama is great. 
Anyways, I vote for The Critic. Didn't last very long, either. But it was great. |

 I've actually only seen Home Movies of those (that includes the Oblongs). Never did the Clerks toon even though I liked the movies. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

| Ren and Stimpy. The Adult Party cartoons were pretty good, but I missed Billy West doing Stimpy's voice. |

The show ran for four years, or something like that. It's not like it didn't have a good run. Besides, once John K was pushed out of the project, it would have ran out of steam, anwyay.

YES. This one made me "vibrate" at the end of each episode, but I liked it. |

1. Buffy (never really got off the ground, so not really canceled. There's clips on youtube). 2. Clerks ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

It made me feel squiggly all over.  Plus having all his patients be played by actual stand up comics was neat. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Did you ever actually watch it? A good deal of the episodes would have flown right over my head if I was a kid. ------------- "WAAAAAAOOOOOUGH! WAAAAAAAUUUUGGHHHH!! WAAAAAOOOO!!!" -The Great Gig in the Sky |

Well, technically, Family Guy and Futurama also had reasonably long runs before they came back too. Overall though, even if my favorite shows that are not longer on were to return, I doubt they'd live up to my expectations anyway. I like what many good British shows (not specific to cartoons) have done over the years by only doing one or two series of a show before the writers/performers move onto another project. I definitely agree that the show did lose some steam when John K. was fired, but there are still some pretty good episodes done without him. |

Hell yeah, I watched it. I loved that cartoon when I was a kid (not to say I don't now). It was marketted as a kids cartoon, though, and aired at times when children watch tv. ------------- Time always wins. |

Used to watch that show when I was young, like too young to actually get it or even find it funny. I think it was all that crazy squiggle animation |
